This invention relates to methods of formulating steroid pheromones as novel stable emulsions. These emulsions can be used for administration of the steroid pheromones to living organisms such as humans or pigs in place of current organic solvent or pressurized aerosol formulations that present hazards in both shipping and application. Uses relating to pigs are in stimulation of sexual maturation, diagnosis of the onset and timing of oestrus in female pigs, and inducing boars to accept dummy sows. The water-based emulsions can include 5α-androst-16-en-3-one and 3α-hydroxy-5α-androst-16-ene for administration to pigs. The use of water-based emulsions eliminates the need for formulation of the steroid pheromones in organic solvents, delivery of these pheromones as pressurized aerosols, and following the precautions required to reduce hazards during shipping and handling. The water-based emulsions allow for treatment of living organisms where a liquid organic solvent formulation or aerosol of the pheromones might be harmful to the organism or a substrate.

A volatilisable substance can be sampled from a surface using a hand-held sampler employing a probe that comprises a supply tube in fluid communication with a pressurised gas supply and an outlet proximate to a target surface, a recovery tube having an inlet proximate to the target surface and being in fluid communication with a collector or analyzer and a skirt of varied depth. The probe is brought into contact with the surface, preferably in at least three points, gas flows out through the supply tube onto the surface, the volatilisable substance is volatilised, uptaken in to the gas and a fraction of the gas flows back through the recovery tube to the collector or analyzer, the remainder flowing under the skirt to prevent ingress of contaminants.
